Was there an allocation increase for the two friendlies this weekend?

[bearsmarsbars]

Heard this mentioned by a few but haven't seen any confirmation if there was or not, or what the new allocation was. Wondering if it's likely we'll get a slight bump for the Livi game.

Yes.

Not sure how true but apparently 11500 for Brighton, 17500 for Madrid and 23k for livi

Sounds reasonable if true, would take that. Seems about a 50% chance of being balloted for the Livi game with those numbers.

Nobody seems able to answer that OP

Understandable that we don’t publicly announce the figures tbh, would just become a ‘ah but they got xx thousand’ argument

We publicly announced the initial figures though, so it just adds confusion & makes people sceptical if we don't announce the new figures.

That was a mistake

David Edgar mentioned it on heart and hand podcast that it’s all to do with test events. Yesterday was the 2nd so an increase on Arsenal. Today is the 3rd so an increase again.

Didn’t seem like 11k from the RTV pics yesterday? Also didn’t look anything like 18k at the piggery either.

Wouldn’t have been far off it tbh

I just don’t understand the secrecy . As usual we are mushrooms kept on the shelf fed mud .

Where did you hear that from mate?

 

[kclarkhall]

Is the ballot tomorrow? Be nice to know if we are actually going sooner.

Saw it mentioned on Twitter mate but the increases seem fair and believable. No idea how true it is though
